I think the spectrum has been or will be reauctioned off, for use by other companies for stuff like wi-fi or 4G cell-phone whatnot. So probably for a while at least until it's new owners ramp up it's new usage to whatever. ___ http://box535.bluehost.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l_mccmedia.com

Thanks KZK and happy July 4th to all! Oh, drop by http://www.davidbrin.com to see a number of my most recent podcast videos, some of which have gone quite viral! Especially the advice to students at college. Thrive all.

Not what marketers of sunscreen and those who screamed for much of that period about O3 depletion would have you believe. The futons used for sleeping in Japan are mattresses placed directly on the bedroom floor, in contrast to the elevated box springs and mattress of beds used in the West. So where do they keep their junk?

(And perhaps the tax on tanning beds that started the first of the month should have been on regular beds, instead?) . . . ronn! :) ___ http://box535.bluehost.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l_mccmedia.com
